You should be using aluminum crush washers on all your plugs. Give much
better seal. And yes you can interchange them.

Questions. Are the tranny and rear end fill plugs interchangable with
the oil drain plug? The reason I ask is I bought a plug advertised as an
oil drain, but ended up using it on the rear end top fill. Seems to fit
fine, but I'm having some gear oil leak out (after a ride) the top
around the plug. When I unscrew it, I get a hissing from pressure
release. Is this normal? The plug is one with the small magnet attached.
Also getting some drops of oil from around the drain plug after a ride.
Should I be using some type of special washer to get a better seal?
Finally some NICE riding weather here in NJ!
